Fedora directory users - Oct 2007 - Admin Server with multiple Directory servers

I have 4 directory servers.
I would really like to just run the admin-serv on one and let that interface
control the others.
How do I do that?

You need an external agent (the admin server) on each machine, in order 
to perform certain remote tasks via CGI, such as server start/restart, 
among others.  The console is designed to contact the local admin server 
on each machine.

Or do you mean, you just want to be able to manage all 4 of your servers 
from a single console - that is, start the console and have all 4 of 
your directory servers in there?

Yes the 4 consoles.  Since we use SSL we have to restart the servers from
shell anyway.

When you run setup, use Typical (not Express) mode, and tell it that you 
want to use an existing configuration DS.  That will register your new 
server with the config DS, which is usually the first one you
install.

You can create a pin file for unattended server start.  In the 
/opt/fedora-ds/alias directory, create a file named
slapd-instancename-pin.txt
The format of this file should be the following:
Internal (Software) Token:thepassword

Make sure this file is mode 0400 and owned by the server user
id.
